**NEW STADIUM RULES THIS WEEKEND**

Do we have enough water fountains? I should know this but haven't really paid attention.
Agreed. And the communication on #2 fell short. By a lot. They should have anticipated the fan reactions, made a plan to ensure that plenty of water stations would be set up and communicated that. That would have taken care of things. Instead they send a tweet with limited info that few will see and still have the outdated info on the althletics department website.
Adding more water fountains is the answer? Sure, let's spread that hand, foot & mouth disease that's running rampant around NJ to 50,000+ people. No thanks. How about they run a competent concessions operation.
Please refrain from using the term Dr. other than for those who actually are trained and educated in the medical field...that nominclature has been overused and abused for too long...she's a teacher and nothing more...
Gotta love how they spring this on everyone the day before the game. It's total horse-bleep but if they were going to do this they should have had the stones to announce in Monday or Tuesday.
Gutless.

Metlife has security equipment that holds up the lines. We do not. I am surprised they allowed food but agree water in a sealed bottle should not be that big a deal. However, many point out that this is the norm for BIG Football.
I combined your two posts and complete agree with both.
And the change was made THE DAY BEFORE THE GAME! Hell, a lot of people are not gonna even be aware of this going into the game.
Yep, that's a big issue for us top-deckers.
What is the annual donations from Michigan alumni vs RU Alumni? If we can match them we should then worry about this issue.
Actually in Rome I believe doctoris stood for any highly recognized teacher (similar to sensei). Medicus was the term for a physician. Since then (too lazy to look it up), M.D.s have appropriated both terms
Just don't go to this doctor. He'll just write a note saying your health is astonishingly excellent and for certain you're the healthiest Rutgers fan to ever fan for Rutgers.
My experience at MetLife is you have to bring the bottle of water to the security gate sealed and then they watch you take the cap off and throw it out.
After 146 years they ban water 30 hours before game time via twitter? Yeah, some people are going to be surprised.

Just like clockwork. Yet another bureaucracy fixing it's inconsistent logic by becoming consistently illogical. It never, ever fails.
We should all prepare to be strip-searched at the gates too. [roll]
And that would make a difference how?
Not sure if sarcasm meter was supposed to be triggered.
Yep, at OSU you can have an 8"x5" bag. The hookers I brought to the game two seasons ago were very relived.All the folks that pack heavy to HPSS ought to try and get in Ohio Stadium.
Allowed "Water bottles that are clear, plastic and empty"
Not allowed: See the link for a long list.
All Bags (including but not limited to backpacks, fanny packs, purses, string or 'cinch' bags, messenger bags, camera bags, briefcases, grocery bags, roll bags, binocular cases, duffle bags, or any other bags) (except below)
Beverages
Containers (common examples include but are not limited to hard sided coolers, soft pack coolers, ice chests, picnic baskets, cans, heavy plastic or glass bottles, thermoses)
Running out of bottled water is effing nuts. Not that hard to predict demand. Even if unrefrigerated should have plenty on hand. It don't go bad. And you are losing revenue!
There are ways to make a liter of clear liquid that would be able to take out at least a few dozen people in a crowd. Just think Breaking Bad. That's why I was surprised to find out they let people bring in unopened bottles a few weeks ago.
If a terrorist or nut was intent on bringing in a bottle or 2 of explosives all they would have to do is shove them or strap them in the crotch of their pants.
RU can't get out of its own way.

No worries. The people passing out from dehydration can jog down the stairs to fetch themselves a drink.
I was waiting for a ChemE (aka glorified pharmacist) to chime in w/that. I was surprised to hear we were allowed to bring in bottles too.
We're talking about approximately 0.5 liter bottles of water that are typically carried into the stadium. And how difficult is it to restore the factory seal on said bottles after modifying the liquid in some fashion? It took a matter of seconds for officers to glance at my water bottles when getting into the stadium and make sure the factory seal was intact, and I can almost guarantee that up to this point they weren't doing so for counter-terrorism reasons.
You guys are funny the country is finally figuring out the college sporting events are very soft targets with little security and if someone wanted to do some damage it could be done easily
We should boycott the game, y'all.
No bottles, no peace.
I'd miss half a quarter of the game each time!

Wow, a sip of beer is somehow news. Now this nonsense. I have seen the problem, and it is us!
Stop it. Went to the Cowboys home opener a couple of weeks ago, spent $75 to park a mile from the stadium. Spent 30 minutes in security line to get in. Dropped I think $12 a beer. Had a great time. Didn't whine about parking, lines, cost of beverages, out of town scores, wifi signals, etc.
